ANALYZING… FILE TYPE: Interrogation Recording PERIOD: Colony Era SPEAKERS: Civilian [ID: TALV], UESC Officer [ID: JHAR], Gabriel [ID: GABR] TOPIC: Anomaly SUMMARY: A recording of a UESC interrogation of a New Cascadian civilian. The civilian describes several unconfirmed theories related to the Anomaly and is ultimately transferred to quarantine. =================================================================== [TALV]: All these people getting sick, the containment breaches, the nightmares… We shouldn't be here. That's what it's trying to tell us. [JHAR]: It? [TALV]: The Anomaly. [JHAR]: Uh-huh. Have you been going to the trauma rehabilitation sessions? According to Joy, your attendance rate is down. [TALV]: Ugh, I can't stand those. [JHAR]: The purpose of the sessions is to process trauma caused by the contact event. [TALV]: The contact event. You're new, right? You just got thawed? [JHAR]: Sir, that's irrelevant to this conversation. [TALV]: I get it. You're just repeating what they told you. But this is bigger than you think. [JHAR]: You're confused, sir. [TALV]: All right. What about Hide Atagi? [JHAR]: Who? [TALV]: Hide Atagi. He worked with me in algaculture. I haven't seen him since the… the "event." So, where is he? [JHAR]: Sir, how should I know— [TALV]: I asked Joy about him, and she said there's no one with that name on record. [JHAR]: Maybe you got the name wrong. [TALV]: I worked with this guy for years. So, where is Hide? Your bosses are lying to you. This thing, the Anomaly, is a message. I know that sounds crazy, but it's real. [JHAR]: Calm down, sir. [TALV]: What? I am calm. [JHAR]: You need to calm down. Gabriel! I need the subject in Interrogation Suite 23B processed for quarantine— [TALV]: Whoa, I-I don't have any symptoms! [JHAR]: Subject is experiencing paranoia, delusions— [TALV]: These aren't delusions— [JHAR]: Aggressive and defiant behavior. [GABR]: Thank you. Mr. Alva, please stay calm. You're going to be transferred to a quarantine unit for observation. [TALV]: I am not sick! [GABR]: It's my hope that you're well, Mr. Alva. We can confirm that through sustained observation and then release you to your hab unit. Regardless, your stay in quarantine will be brief and comfortable. =================================================================== TYPE: TEXT [X]; AUDIO [X]
